A container (8) which includes a disposable cup (10) is shown, together with a coating (12) of food-grade antifoaming agent at the inner surface of the cup. A method of speeding filling of the container is disclosed which includes pouring a beverage that foams and forms a foam head when poured into the cup. Collapse of the foam head is accelerated by the antifoaming agent (12) to permit an increase in the filling rate of the cup without overflow.

A container comprising a drinking cup, a coating comprising a food grade antifoaming agent that inhibits the formation of bubbles on a liquid during agitation by reducing surface tension and elasticity thereof affixed to the cup at the inner surface of the cup in an amount effective for accelerating

A container comprising a drinking cup, a coating comprising a food grade antifoaming agent that inhibits the formation of bubbles on a liquid during agitation by reducing surface tension and elasticity thereof affixed to the cup at the inner surface of the cup in an amount effective for accelerating the rate of collapse of a foam head produced by pouring a ready-to-drink aspartame-containing carbonated soft drink beverage which foams when poured into the cup and decreasing the time required to fill the cup without overflowing the same, the antifoaming agent affixed to the cup being present in an amount such that said antifoaming agent has a significantly smaller effect on the rate of collapse of a foam head on bear produced by pouring beer into the cup than on the rate of collapse of said foam head produced by pouring said soft drink beverage into the cup such that the foam head on beer poured into the cup will be retained for a longer time than the foam head on the soft drink beverage poured into the cup, thus allowing the coated cup to be used to serve the soft drink beverage or beer, which coating does not change the taste of carbonated beverage poured into the cup. A method of speeding the filling of a drinking cup with a beverage that foams and forms a foam head when poured comprising, providing a drinking cup, applying a coating comprising a food grade antifoaming agent that inhibits the formation of bubbles on a liquid during agitation by reducing surface tension and elasticity thereof at the inner surface of the drinking cup in an amount effective to accelerate the rate of collapse of a foam head produced by pouring a ready-to-drink aspartame-containing carbonated soft drink beverage which foams when poured into the cup, the antifoaming agent being present in an amount such that the antifoaming agent has a significantly smaller effect on the rate of collapse of a foam head on beer produced by pouring beer into the cup than on the rate of collapse of said foam head produced by pouring said soft drink beverage into the cup such that the foam head on beer poured into the cup will be retained for a longer time than the foam head on the ready-to-drink aspartame-containing carbonated soft drink beverage poured into the cup, thus allowing the coated cup to be used to serve the soft drink beverage or beer, pouring a beverage into the drinking cup which beverage forms a foam head when poured, the collapse of which foam head is accelerated by the antifoaming agent permitting an increase in filling speed of the drinking cup without overflow, the taste of the beverage poured into the cup being unchanged by the coating.
